Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing - Tom Waits, Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Tootie Ma was a big fine thing

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma was a big fine thing

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma says sure is fine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma says sure is fine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Finest gal you ever saw

Done some things against the law

Took my ma, broke my pa

I’m gonna knock on her door

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing

I’m gonna knock on her door

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma says sure is fine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma says sure is fine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma can drink some wine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma can drink some wine

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Tootie Ma went up the rail

Lookin' for some cat to veil

Police put her right in jail

I’m gonna get her out on bail

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing

Swing for me on my proud day

Ho Natay, swing that thing
